Thats very nice Nick. Sometimes I miss the PE I had pre joc, but that little bi color is way too cool to remove

here are 2 you dont see much but i like them none the less

purple polyps on the left and yellow with a blue/purple rim on the right

overhead shots

you can see the yellow one peeking in on this pic

ive also got a rainbow monti growing out as well as the tyree undata... unfortunately, my monti collection is still on it's way back from when i had nudis last year and lost everything i lost some pieces that i'll never get back... most notably, my highlighter yellow encrusting monti which i havent seen before or since that one

 

[southstar066]

I really like that purple polyp one, very nice

Nope, I believe he said it was the Forest Fire.

FWIW, Every large vesuvious I have ever seen tend to brown out in the middle. They are really nice and bright when they are small or towards the outer edges on new growth, but they don't stay that way when they get 4-5"

.
I know the trick to not getting the brown in the middle. Its a secret one day I might share:strooper:

Yep, Montiporas have a special place in my tank. Even though its small, the appleberry is also one of those corals your eye gravitates too.

I agree. Its also one of the slower growing montis in the tank.

I'll expect a PM shortly if you know what is good for you :uzi:

Maybe one day Montis will be as popular as chalice. JK. I hope not.

I still like the Orenji Danae. It always reminds me of submarine lava pouring into new islands

 

[suppressivefire]

Crappy camera can't bring out the colors like urnace can but its the brightest in my tank, I need some setosa to compare.

urnace I like how you photo tag color matches lol.

Thanks! Most of my pics are with a crappy 4MP Nikon, taken top-down. I couldn't take a good pic through glass to save my life.

Where's your monti from?

 

[isseym328]

Karl,

Your monti is the slowest growing monti I have ever seen. The small frag that I obtained is still just that....a small frag.

 

[dustinP]

what fish is that

 

[Unarce]

Hey James - Yeah, Sang (Maximus) would call it the slowest growing SPS in the hobby. I think the Hawaiian Punch is slower, though, but that just could be me. Does anyone have a big piece of that?

Dustin - That's a super male lyretail anthias.

 

[Unarce]

BTW - I get a lot of complaints about ebay and online vendors selling them Orenji's that look bland (still great deals, though). If it can't be traced back to Mike at The Captive Reef, it's not the Orenji. The Orenji should look like the pic in person. Even without actinic (and I never run actinic)

 

[LCN]

The Orenji is one of those corals you not only need to own to appreciate but also growing it out to appreciate.

These are my favs out of the ones in my tank:

Pokerstar:

And of course the Undata:

 

[isseym328]

My Hawaiian punch is pretty slow grower too, but the lime base/orange polyps is a good contrast.
